Aerial Flights sheet music cover with winged female figure

A lithographed sheet music cover with the title Aerial Flights in decorative letters above a sketched female figure floating in the sky. She wears a flowing gown, one arm raised to her head, and drifts over a distant town with a church spire. Soft grey shading and a light paper ground give it a delicate, airy feel.
